We have some friends that, due to a change in their housing situation, are in need of someone to take on their chickens for a while. So, we now have 5 egg-laying chickens in our backyard! It should be an interesting challenge.

Here are some photos of the solar powered LED lights for our sheds. My father very generously put together the lights, battery, solar panel, and wiring, and shipped it out to us. Over the last couple days I installed them in the sheds.

Tilted aggressively for lower winter sun.

Wire from solar panel and between sheds

The battery fits in the gap between the wall and the roof.

The lights are mounted above the doors

The switch is mounted just inside the door

The view at night – the LEDs light up the sheds quite nicely! (The flash on the camera was off)
